✈️ Philippines Travel: News Update

🛩️ Major Flight Alert: Turboprop Routes Moving to Clark International Airport 🇵🇭

If you are planning a trip to the "Big Three" island destinations—✨ Coron (Busuanga), ✨ El Nido, and ✨Naga—take note of a significant change.

Cebu Pacific (CebGo) and AirSwift have announced that their turboprop operations are officially transitioning away from Manila’s NAIA Terminal 2.

💥 By the end of March 2026, these popular routes will operate exclusively out of 👉 Clark International Airport (CRK). While this aims to decongest Manila, it means travelers landing at NAIA will now need to factor in a 2 to 3-hour transfer to Clark to catch their island connections.

✨ THE PHILIPPINES TRAVEL TAKE:✨
This is a "logistics alert" for anyone booking multi-island itineraries. The move to Clark can actually be a blessing—the airport is world-class and much faster to navigate than NAIA—but only if you plan for it.

💥 Strategy: 💥
If you're coming from an international flight into Manila, don't book a tight connection to El Nido. Instead, consider staying a night in Clark or looking for direct international flights that land straight at CRK to skip the Manila traffic altogether.

Grand Reopening of Virgin Island Bohol.

💥 Virgin Island Reopens this Monday! 🏝️✨

Big news for island lovers! One of Bohol’s most iconic gems, (Puntod Island), is officially reopening to the public this Monday, February 2, 2026.

👉After more than a year of environmental rehabilitation, the island is back with a fresh focus on sustainability. To keep this paradise pristine, the local government has introduced some important new rules:

⚠️ Visitor Limits: To prevent overcrowding, only 250 tourists are allowed on the sandbar every two hours.

⚠️ No Vendors: Food and drink stalls are no longer allowed on the sandbar itself to eliminate waste.

⚠️ Eco-Guidelines: Only reef-safe sunscreens are permitted, and a strict "Pack It In, Pack It Out" trash policy is in effect.

⚠️Hours of Operation: The island will be open daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

👉 This reopening is a major step in protecting Bohol's marine beauty while allowing us to enjoy its crystal-clear waters once again. If you're planning a trip, be sure to coordinate with your boat operators early as slots are expected to fill up fast! 🇵🇭
